Sediments are in sedimentary rocks. Everyday, more and more sediment is layed on top of the first batch of sediment(first layer). As the layers build up, they begin to press down on that first layer of sediment, pushing most of the air and water out of it, pushing the particles closer together. This is the process of compaction. This process occurs underground or above and is part of the way that sedimentary rocks are formed.
Cementation is the next step in the recipe for making sedimentary rocks. In this step, loose sediments are glued together naturally glues like calcite and silica.
